Raman -ok, if u all want this only, then I am also ready. He said making everyone happy.
Kids start rejoicing while Toshiji hugged Raman tight happily for changing his decision. Ishita too smiled and went to kitchen to make fresh tea for raman. Kids went to toshiji and all started planning about their clothes for the functions while Raman to kitchen behind ishita realising he again thought about his pain without thinking about her happiness.
Ishita was busy in her work when she felt his arms around her waist. Before she can say anything raman said -sorry jaan.
Ishita -sorry, for what raman. she said being busy in her work.
Raman -for being selfish. Main har baar koshish karta hoon ki khud se pehle tumhare baare mein sochun par har baar mein selfish ho jaata hoon. I am really sorry jaan. He said looking down feeling guilty.
Ishita -aap kya bol rahe hai raman, I am not getting. she said looking away.
Raman cupped her face and said -i know u r getting what I am trying to say bas nahi bol rahi ho taaki mujhe bura naa lage. But I know tumhe bura lagaa hoga that I denied for our grand remarriage because of my pain and guilt. I am really sorry jaan mujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha, I am really sorry. He said apologising for the nth time while ishita smiled at her husband's cuteness.
Ishita didn't said anything but just hugged him tight. She rested her head on his chest and said -mujhe bas aapka saath chahiye raman. Phir chahe shaadi dhoom dham se ho yaa simple tareeke se. Jhooth nahi bolungi, yes I was excited for our marriage. Phir se aapki dulhan banna, phere lena, aur kasmein khana. I really want to feel all this again but my all these wishes r too small infront of the pain u r going through. Kya mujhe nahi pata aap kitne desperately ichu ko achcha dekhna chahte hai. Kaise aap raat bhar articles padhte hai to make him better. Delhi ke almost har child psychologist se mil chuke hai. I know how badly u want ichu to be fine, Maine dekhi hai aapko tadap raman. And I don't have any problem with simple marriage. All I want is our togetherness and ur happiness. Bas aap khush rahiye, everything will be fine.
Raman smiled hearing this and wrapped her in his arms and said -I am happy jaan. U know why, coz I have the best family and the most wonderful wife in the world. Coz I am blessed with the most amazing kids, that's why I am happy. Aur tumhari koi bhi wish mere liye choti nahi hai, if u want to be my bride again and want to live all those moments again then we will surely have a grand wedding. Not just for adi, rooh and ichu but for ur happiness too. He said and pecked her temple softly while she just snuggled more into him.
Both were lost in each other when they heard some footsteps and parted and soon their kids come inside and adi said -papa, hum shopping par kab jayenge.
Raman -shopping??
Ruhi -haan papa, to buy news clothes for ur and mumma's marriage. Hum jayenge naa shopping par.
Before raman can say anything ichu went to him and said caressing his cheek -papa, ichu, adi bhaiya, Ruhi didi ki ghoomi le chalo. He said every so cutely making Raman skip a heart.
Raman picked him in his arms and said -papa aaj hi apne charon babies ko le chalenge.
Adiru got confused hearing this and said -char?but we r only three.
Raman -kyun, tumhari mumma nahi hai.
Ichu -mumma baby hai kya? He asked and laughed.
Raman -yes babu ,ur mumma is my first baby. Toh hue naa tum chaar .papa will take all his babies to shopping, OK. He said making them happy. He hugged all in a tight hug.
Soon Raman went and informed his parent that he is taking ishita and kids out for shopping and will have dinner outside only. They happily gave their consent and all went to get ready.
Soon all were ready and all were going out when Mr bhalla called Raman and said -raman, I want to talk to u before u guys go out.
Raman -ji papa boliye.
Mr bhalla -we r sending invites to everyone, shall we send invite to Ishita's parent also. He said making Raman's face fell.
Toshiji -i know u r angry on them but they r her parent.may be she want to invite them. She said and showed him ishita who was trying to be normal but her ear was glued to their conversation.
Raman look at her and said -if u guys want to call them, then I don't have any problem. Invite them too but I will not let them come near to ichu. Woh dono mere bachche ke kareeb nahi aayenge. He is suffering just because of them. Agar unn logon ne support kiya hota toh naa ishita ko itna sehna padhta aur naa ichu aisa hota. It's all because of them that our ichu is suffering. Aur sirf ichu hi kyun,they left little adi also. Jab mera bachcha akele hospital mein iss darr se ro raha tha ki Kahin uski mumma ko kuch ho naa jaaye, tab bhi woh log nahi aaye. I agree they wanted to punish ishita but they didn't came when she was in hospital hanging between life and death, and adi was all alone.jab tab saath nahi diya toh aaj main kyun unhe mere bachchon ke kareeb aane doon. No I will not allow them. They can come to the marriage but I won't allow them near my kids.
Toshiji -but puttar,
Raman cut her and said -no maa, they will not come near my ichu. Agar ichu ke liye Maine aaj tak khud ko maaf nahi kiya toh unko bhi nahi karunga. They can come and enjoy the marriage, bless their daughter but tell them to stay away from my kids and specially ichu. And this is my final decision. Aur iske liye chahe toh ishita mujhse gussa bhi ho sakti hai. But I can never forgive them. Main aise kisi insaan ko maaf nahi kar sakta who has tried to hurt my family. He said and went out taking ishita's hand.
All kids were already out, Raman made them sit in the car and drove out of the house. Ishita was looking at him, he was looking angry. She went closer to him and said keeping her hear on his shoulder -aap please gussa mat hoiye raman. I know u r very angry with amma appa but please don't hurt urself.
Raman look at her and his temper came down seeing her worried for him. He wrapped his arms around her and said -i don't know how u forgive me so easily jaan. I was the reason of ur every misery, because of my one mistake, u and our kids suffered so much. Phir bhi tumne kaise mujhe maaf kar diya. Main toh tumhare amma appa ko maaf karne ki soch kar hi gusse mein aa jaata hoon. Really it needs lots of love to forgive someone who gave u so much of pain. Thank u jaan for forgiving my every mistake and loving me so much though I don't deserve it.
Ishita -aisa mat boliye, u deserve every love and respect from all of us, coz u r the best, the best husband and the best father. Aap kabhi bhi apne bachchon ko akela nahi chodenge, even if they r wrong.
Raman -yes I will never leave my babies alone. Will always stand by them and protect them. Joh galti karni thi kar li, now I will never leave u all alone. He said and continued driving while ishita turned and saw adiru and ichu busy in themselves.
Soon they reached to the mall and went to pick clothes for themselves. They went to the ethnic collection and start picking clothes for themselves. Ishita picked two lehenga and two evening gowns for Ruhi along with few anarkali. Raman picked few casual and few formals for adi and ichu. He picked few kurta pyjama for them too. The kids were all around the store and was busy in shopping.aftet two hours they were ready with almost new clothes for every occasion along with matching accessories and many toys too.
Ishita said an omg face and said -itni shopping koi karta hai kya. Chalo wapas rakho kuch samaan. She said scolding them while kids look at Raman making a baby face.
Raman -lene do naa jaan, aakhir inke parent ki shaadi hai. Let them enjoy.
Ishita -toh Karen naa enjoy but itne toys, itne kapde. Raman it's too much.
Raman -chod naa madrasan, they r happy. Let them be. Come let me pick something for u too. He said and took her with him while kids got happy that Raman saved them from further scolding.
Raman took her to bridal collection and take out a heavy maroon lehenga and said -u go and try this.
Ishita saw the lehenga and said -itna heavy lehenga, no Raman it will not look good, Sab kya kahenge, teen bachchon ki maa, itna heavy lehenga pehan kar shaadi kar rahi hai.
Raman made a face hearing this and said -kuch bhi madrasan, yeh bakwaas baatein kaun karta hai.hamari shaadi hai ,tu meri hone wali dulhan hai.meri sunegi yaa kisi aur ki. Meri maa, so I have decided, u r going to wear this only, Waise bhi I remember u wore south Indian saree in our first marriage so this time u will wear lehenga woh bhi meri pasand ka, samjhi, now go and try it.
Ishita -but Raman,
Raman -no bakwaas, just go and try it. He said in a stern voice making ishita go nodding her head.
